This photo of The Music Academy, taken recently, shows the new facade outside the Academy hall. Recently, the main road alongside the flyover here was widened and some portions of the buildings along this road were accquired for the road expansion. And, since a new state order banned 'unauthorised' billboards in the city, the boards alongside the Academy premises were removed.
